I would love it to be Pakistan so we can possibly have one more India-Pakistan match

If not them then probably Sri Lanka now
 
Can't say for sure right now but SL surely is best poised with 6 pts and a potential 6 more. Their lineup of course includes playing India but if they get a slow pitch they have a chance. After them I'd say Pakistan has the best chance as they are the only other team that has a win against one of the top 4.
 
Bangladesh. If they win 2 - against Afghans and Pakistan and England lose all 3 , they will qualify. I just can't see any of PAK,WI,BD winning all their remaining matches. One more win should do it for England.
 
Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have the best chance to sneak in.

Pakistan is highly unlikely to sneak in with 11 points but it's still doable.

Windies and South Africa have virtually no chance of qualifying to the SFs.

Yeah, they play india on the same slow pitch where they played England yesterday! but I don't see india losing on a slow pitch like England!

Depends on who bats second if we do then Rohit will flop, it will be all on Kohli, Dhoni. Let's c.
 
I think India will win the WC 2019 as well as WC 2023.

Hope so. It would be quite phenomenal. But let’s take one game at a time or rather one works Cup at a time lol. Lots and lots of work to be done here
 
BD.

Don't think SL themselves know how they managed to defend 232 v England.
 
BD followed by SL, providing England lose all 3 matches. If they win even one match, they are through.
 
Hard for Pakistan from here, but would like to see one more Asian team make it to semis along with India.
 
Probably Bangladesh.

Honestly I would have said Srilanka but they are are far too unpredictable.
 
Sri Lanka probably has most chance their game against india may decide if they win against SA and WI.

BD comes second ag s in their matches are going to b taugh they have to play india and pakista.

but most importantly I believe its england that is going to b in a fix. they have 8 points but most importantly the y have the toughest games to come yet as india and Australia + NZ are also going to b taugh. either they will crash out or will leave either these 3 teams in trouble.
 
Bangaldesh DON'T because they have to win the match against India and 2 other matches which I just don't see them doing firstly as Eng will 99% win at least one of the 3 matches.

So I'll go with Pakistan or West Indies.

Pakistan plays awful under pressure.

Most likely it will be over tomorrow.
 
So England has to win two of remaining 3 matches.
it's all chaos if couple of key matches are washed out. Let's hope rain stay away.
 
LOL awful under pressure, right.

Yes.

Let me tell you the number of teams that have so far won 4 consecutive matches in this World Cup.

1.

New Zealand.

India might make it 4 out 4 today with Afghanistan.

England might not even qualify because they have lost 2 matches out of 6.

Australia haven't managed to win 4 on the trot even though they sit top of the table.

And Pakistan will magically ride the Aladdin's carpet, will have no washouts, win 4 on the trot, England will lose the next 3, and a team who has yet to win more than 1 match on the entire World Cup will suddenly be in the semi finals.

Could it happen?

A mathematical improbability.

Things which are common are supposed to happen more than uncommon things.

Which is why I believe tomorrow will just be another day when we probably will lose to South Africa and finish our interest in this World Cup.
 
Don't get why people are saying Bangladesh, they have to beat india and I don't really see them doing that. They showed against Australia and England they arent much of a match against the top teams in these conditions. They can beat the eest of the teams on their day .

For me it's Sri Lanka as they are capable of beating South Africa and West Indies. West Indies cant be ruled out if they can beat NZ. If Pakistan beat NZ and South Africa, they have a chance.
 
Bangladesh. If they win 2 - against Afghans and Pakistan and England lose all 3 , they will qualify. I just can't see any of PAK,WI,BD winning all their remaining matches. One more win should do it for England.

I you at saying bang may only need to win 2, we may only need to win 3. We are only 2 points behind them
We will have to beat afg in 25 overs to make up the RR
